Boys' track action — Homestead sprints to convincing 87-35 win

By TOM CHARLES Sports Editor What was to be a boys’ triangular track meet on the Warriors home oval last Thursday turned into a dual battle between Homestead and Wawasee. The Carroll Chargers, who were scheduled to compete, backed out due to weather conditions. Despite sunny skies, runners had to battle a stiff west wind which sent temperatures near the freezing point. However, the conditions did not bother Homestead as it sprinted to an 87-35 win. It was the seventh meet of the season for the Trojans, who ran a complete indoor schedule. Their experience and depth paid off with a strong showing in the sprints and 10 first place finishes. Wawasee had four first places in the meet, two of which came in the distance events. Junior Mike Ballinger turned in a fine time of 10:26.1 to win the 3200 meters. Senior distance man Jerry Auer ran a strong 1600 meters, taking

the top spot with a time of 4:52. “Auer had a good race,” noted coach Jerry Mintoif “It was tough to run in that wind. I thought that Ballinger had a good time. He finished stronger than he went out despite the fact that he was feeling a bit sick.” Steve Sturgill captured first place in the shot put with a winning toss of 41-2. He also placed third in the discuss with a heave of 114-2. Brad LeCount won the pole vault for the second consecutive meet. He improved upon his 11-6 showing at the South Bend Classic, winning the event with a leap of 12-0. Other Finishers Mike Goodspeed, Terry McDaniels, Dick Doll and Jerry Auer nailed down second place finishes in the meet. Goodspeed turned in a 16.1 in the 110 high hurdles, Doll was clocked at 54.9 in the 400-meter dash, McDaniels leaped 18-7 3 4 in the long jump and Auer had a time of 2:10.7 in the 800.

Brian Popenfoose ran a good race in the 300 low hurdles, placing third with a time of 43.4. Tim Mangas salvaged the Warriors’ only place in the short sprints. He was third in the 200 with a time of 25.2. “I wasn’t too upset with the way we ran,” said Minton. “Homestead was in mid-season form, and we have a lot of young kids who are somewhat up and down.” Time For A Break The Warriors are currently in the midst of a one-week vacation. The next meet is scheduled for Thursday, April 12 at Warsaw. The meet is a triangular event with Warsaw and Concord, and marks the start of the Northern Lakes Conference schedule. “We will come in to the school twice over vacation,” noted Minton. “It would be better for us if spring break came a week earlier. I don’t think that the time off really hurts us, but we have to go right into our conference meets.”

Marksmen win squeaker

The Mail-Journal Marksmen, behind a balanced scoring attack, defeated the North Webster Junior High faculty, 84-83, in a March 29 benefit basketball game for the students. The Marksmen, smarting somewhat from their first loss of the season last week, seemed to be playing in slow motion at the outset. But an 18-foot jumper by Mark Weinstein provided the Marksmen a lead midway in the first half which they never relinquished. Still, the North Webster faculty never quit. Trailing by seven points with less than three minutes to go. North Webster put together one last attempt to dethrone the media men. With the Marksmen trying to put the game on ice, the faculty came up with several key defensive plays. Mike Hall’s steal and driving layup, which resembled his older brother, Ricky, a Purdue guard, brought the teachers and Marksmen even, 82-82. On the play, M-J’s darkroom specialist Rich Rhodes hacked Hall, giving the faculty a chance to take the lead. And that’s exactly what they did. Hall canned the charity toss giving the faculty a stunning 83-82 lead with seven seconds remaining. But the Marksmen never panicked. Instead they worked the ball around the perimeter before the Mail-Journal’s newest sports stringer. Worth Packer was fouled. Pressure Free Throws The 6’4” center calmly sank both of his charity shots giving the Marksmen the triumph.

“I was really pleased with the performance of Packer, Randy Jacobs, Weinstein and Jolie Eckhardt,” said interim head coach Ben Smith, replacing Derk Kuhn who was rushed to Seattle, Washington to aid Terry Holland and the Virginia Cavaliers in their final four preparation. "Packer, Jacobs and Weinstein hit extremely well, and Eckhardt came off the bench in the second half and played outstanding.” Packer led the winners with 32 points and 13 rebounds while Jacobs finished with 20 points on the evening. Weinstein concluded the double-digit scoring for the Marksmen with 14 points, but the 6’3” guard dished out seven assists. Eckhardt added eight points and handed out five assists. Tom Charles, who was averaging 10 points a game, failed to score. North Webster also had a balanced scoring attack, but only five players scored. Hall paced the losers with 25 points, Norm Vanlaningham chipped in with 20, Jim Hite added 17 and Jay Smith finished with 14 before fouling out. Wendell Bryant, a 1984 consensus All-American principal from North Webster failed to dent the scoring column. He was delegated to a reserve role in the contest. The Mail-Journal Marksmen will now take a much deserved breather from basketball as they look for additional competition in the area. Anyone interested in scheduling a contest should call Mark Weinstein, 658-4111. All offers will be considered.

White Sox are local favorite

Spring is not really here until the air is full of . 1. Robins 2. Warm air 3. Baseballs If you chose the third answer, your waiting is over. The familiar sound of wood on leather has returned to sports stadiums all over the counl ry. Baseball is back in business With the opening of another season comes the inevitable question of who will win division titles. It seems as though predicting is as much a part of sports as is watching the actual games. If one listens :o most baseball watchers, this year’s playoffs could prove to be a case of deja vu. The Orioles, White Sox and Dodgers, all defending division champions, are avored to repeat in 1984. Only the Phillies, last year’s National Leagu< winners, are not a convincing pick to return to post-season action. However, the Phils were not given much hope in 1983. And this year’s choice, Montreal, has a history of proving predictors wrong. So much for the experts. What is the local concensus on the upcoming season local baseball fans ared their opinions with The Mail-Journal. ft " MYRON DICKERSON

Myron Dickerson — Wawasee head baseball coach. Dickerson agrees with the experts when it comes to the American League, picking Chicago and Baltimore to repeat. In the National League he favors Montreal and Los Angeles. In the playoffs it will be Chicago and Los Angeles, with the White Sox going all the way. Jim Dermody — Warsaw head baseball coach. Dermody is in agreement with Dickerson except when it comes to the N.L. East. The Warsaw mentor likes Hi JIM DERMODY the Pirates’ chances to dethrone their cross-state rivals. He tabs the White Sox (he went to grade school with Ron Reed) and Dodgers to win their leagues, with Chicago taking it all. Scott Siler — Wawasee assisr tant baseball coach. Siler tabs the Orioles to win what he calls “the toughest division in baseball," the A.L. East. The White Sox, Montreal and San Diego are his picks for the remaining three spots. However, he cautions fans to keep their eyes on the Dodgers and Pirates. Siler likes the possibilities of a MontrealChicago World Series with the White Sox winning it all.

SCOTT SILER Tom Charles — N.Y. Yankees fan. Now that the Goose has moved to San Diego, Charles sees the Padres as a sure bet to win the N.L. West.
